I vote for the Campy Ergo option. If I was limited to just one bike, it would have Campy Ergo 8,9, or 10 speed. Fortunately I have several bikes and I enjoy the shifting on them all, and like switching back and forth. The one shifting mode I have used and didn’t like was 9 speed friction; Shimano in this case with bar ends. I think the narrow cog spacing makes the shifts and trimming too finicky. YMMV.
